While waiting for the entirety of the CRGA to kick in, see what other solar benefits you may qualify for. For instance, Tick Tock Energy is enrolled as an approved designee for the Illinois Solar for All Program, supporting eligible non-profit organizations and public facilities that wish to reduce operating costs and reinvest those savings into their communities.
Illinois Solar for All offers a specialized incentive structure through solar renewable energy credits that can make solar far more accessible for qualifying facilities while delivering guaranteed energy savings.
What the Illinois Solar for All Incentive Can Include
For eligible non-profit and public facilities that meet the program requirements, the Illinois Solar for All incentive can provide the following benefits:
- Incentive Value: Roughly 50% of a solar installation cost, paid as a single lump sum approximately 6 to 12 months after installation
- Maintenance Included: The first 15 years of system maintenance are included
- Savings Requirement: Guaranteed electricity cost savings of 65% or greater
- Ownership Pathways: Lease-to-own options may be available, including structures designed for zero out of pocket investment
- Eligibility Requirement: The facility must qualify as a Critical Service Provider as defined by the program
Additional Incentives Non-Profit and Public Facilities May Combine
In many cases, eligible facilities may be able to stack Illinois Solar for All benefits with other incentives, including:
- Direct Pay Option for the 30% Federal Tax Credit
- Bonus 10% Direct Pay Federal Tax Credit, for eligible locations
- Ameren Smart Inverter Distributed Generation Rebate: Approximately 5-10% of a solar installation cost, typically paid 3 to 4 months after installation, available in Ameren service areas only
When combined, these incentives can frequently total 90%, 100%, or more of a typical solar installation cost.
Illinois Solar for All eligibility is often tied to where the facility is located. The non-profit or public facility must reside in a specific census tract to qualify for these solar renewable energy credit incentives. If you wish to confirm eligibility, share the facility address with Tick Tock Energy, and we can help validate whether the location qualifies and what the incentive stack may look like for your project.
